do these wheels have a name
Does anyone know what the name of these wheels are? I have a set but need the centre caps and wondered if they were called something specific? even
looks like the center cap is a cross

I just taken a look at some old Ford sales brochures and they were fitted from 1981 until 1982. They are described simple as light alloy wheels. They
were only fitted to the Cortina and Granada Ghia as standard, the Granada ones being five studs.

I've just spayed some with hammerite and found that the lid from the tin is a perfect fit in the centre of the wheel

You know its going to be locost when the picture he's taken is in black and white
Yeah their just plain old Ghia alloys - That style is not exclusive to the cortina though as the fiesta and granada had them as well.
Cheers
